Congrats on the grafts. If you can get a Prague Chimera that would be great- satsuma fruit on a very hardy tree.

I can’t get Meiwa grafts to take Nagami. Fukushu seems to take no problem but after trying twice with several scions each time they just die.
Also this is a desire of mine: large, sweet and glochidless opuntia
maybe this one is interesting for breeding
'Willoughby Spit' Prickly Pear

on EFN there was an O.stricta type with similar traites (now it has disappeared)

I have a large opuntia humifusa with fig sized fruit and a patch of heritage thornless opuntia humifusa in need of love. I hope to breed both with opuntia ficus indica eventually. Unfortunately, I only have a single rooted pad of that one, so unless I find a large potted example, I think I'm a long ways off from that goal. Wishing the other folks on that path the best!
